I don't subscribe to posting reports on cyclists deaths as a matter of course, but felt that this
one needs mentioning...
A boxing champ died when he was thrown from his bicycle through the rear windscreen of a parked
Mercedes Vaneo, as he turned to talk to a friend. His friend, who administered first aid at the
scene of the accident, reported that he hadn't seen the vehicle. It was reported that he wasn't
wearing a helmet but his mother said today that he died from neck injuries. He was 14 and the
accident occured at 1235hrs yesterday. Apparently he had had his bike stolen previously and his
mother is quoted as saying she only bought him the new one three weeks ago....
I appreciate this is a terrible tragedy and we should perhaps give a minutes silence and thoughts
and condolences with the lads family...but one has to wonder if this is a case for proof of boxing
causing brain damage in the young ??...
